Npower Championship betting 23-25th September

West ham - HT result @ 23/20 stanjames/Hills

Peterborough have conceded in first half of all away games so far this season,you can included they have conceded in two of their four home games too.

Hull im always keen to back against them,for me they dont look that great upfront.
Fryatt was outed by Leicester when hes goals dried up.Journeyman Adebola,and Mclean 3 goals from 18 starts last season,Bristol City odds are starting to look tempting @ 2.65 betfair,ill take a chance and wait till tommorow see if their odds drift.

Bets from all three days from the ratings:

Back Leeds art 3.2+ (best price 3.75)
Back Burnley at 3.25+ (3.25)
Back Reading at 2.47+ (2.5)
Back Millwall at 2.56+ (2.9)
Back Cardiff at 2.25+ (2.4)

I'd rather back Brigthton to be honest, Pete (despite Leeds having an extra day's rest on them). They looked very impressive 2nd half against Liverpool (presumably after a HT kick up the arse as I don't think Liverpool had taken their foot off the pedal being only 0-1 up and wanting to give Gerrard 30 minutes). They reminded me of Southampton this season actually who I watched take Leeds apart in the first game of the season. Strong, organised, quick; their position in the league was understandable on that evidence.

Leeds meanwhile.... continue to look very weak at the back and in the middle of midfield. They do have a few good attacking options and when they all click they're always in with a shout but they're going to keep on dropping points through gifting goals I fear. Their last games, at home: late winner against lowly Bristol City and coming from behind to beat Palace with another late winner. Before that, a 2-1 defeat at Ipswich. It's not the most inspiring stuff. Also, one of their main attacking players, Snodgrass, has been looking a bit out of sorts to me (also read some Leeds fans saying the same). His body language isn't particularly positive and at times he looks like he can't be arsed.

Not sure what the best odds are but I see 2.1 @ bet365 for Brighton. Looks ok to me. Ish. The main issue is Brighton having played on Wednesday. They're big boys though. I'd have suggested both teams to score until I saw the odds. 1.57 - bleh.

Some BBC bits:

Team News
Left-back Marcus Painter returns for Brighton after serving a ban during the Carling Cup defeat against Liverpool. Will Buckley is out after aggravating a hamstring injury in that tie.
Fit-again forward Luciano Becchio is poised to make his first start of the season for Leeds, while Billy Paynter is also available following injury.
Defender Patrick Kisnorbo is free from suspension and Danny Pugh is expected to make his debut after joining on loan from Stoke.

Head-to-head
• Leeds have won 15 and lost eight of 32 league meetings with Brighton.
• Brighton have not won in six clashes since a 2-1 Championship victory at home in January 2006.


Brighton & Hove Albion
• Brighton, knocked out of the Carling Cup by Liverpool, take to the field for the second time in three days in manager Gus Poyet's 101st match in charge.
• They are in danger of losing three matches in a week, having been beaten for the first time this season at Leicester last Saturday. The Seagulls have not endured successive league losses since April 2010 in League One.
• They are defending one of the five unbeaten home records in the division.

Leeds United
• Leeds are chasing a third successive league win, something they last achieved in December 2010.
• They are one of seven clubs still without an away win in this Championship campaign.
• They have had to score at least two goals to secure any points.

as it happens,I subscribe to the odd tipping service(even though I never do the bets...I just like to know how the pros think..these are profitable services)and I was quite surprised that 1 of them told me to bet leeds at 11-4 and also at 5-2.
I must admit I am surprised to see leeds above at 13-5...hmmm

Draw for me tonight @ 3.40 Bet365 Leeds have a day extras rest and have come into a bit of form, Fancy both teams to score as well so score draw imo maybe 1-1 Bechhio scoring for Leeds, was going to go and watch it would of if Rhino's wernt playing the same time

Not sure you can say Leeds are coming into form. They've won two in a row at home with late goals against very average sides and lost at Ipswich before that. It's all about how much difference that league cup game makes to Brighton in my opinion.

Whoooah. Ya beauty. Go Ross McCormack. That top scorer bet not looking too bad now.

Good shout so far Yorkle - 2-2

Good shout Mickey now so far.

Aaaaaaaand back to yorkie in injury time. Although, McCormack again is awesome for me.

Wooohooooooooooo wat a match that was great win there phew

gone for WEst Ham @ 1.66 and Boro @ 1.61 today

Forest have surely got to be a must for both teams to score. Forest have found their scoring boots and are really, really shit at defending. 3/4 the price - get on. 40pts for me

You and your Forest fetish! I won't argue with it although Watford did go three games without scoring I see. Gulp.

I was considering Barnsley X2 (unbeaten in 4, unbeaten away) and Birmingham's form generally sucking major ass but just reading some of the Barnsley players have been suffering with a virus the last week. That's very off-putting.

Crystal Palace a possible X2 shout though at bottom of the table Doncaster? The home side with no wins so far and only the single goal scored at home. Their results are terrible. Dean Saunders taking charge for the first time could be some kind of performance booster but will it be enough? Palace look capable of nicking something to me. They've already won at Hull and were leading in their last away game before succumbing to the pretty hot attacking power of Leeds and McCormack.

Palace double chance @ bet365 is 1.53 - I think that might find it's way into a daring double or tricky treble for me this week.

I'd have liked to back Southampton with Burnley not doing great so far but but but but.... I have draw worries there. Southampton just scoring so many goals though... and looking soooo impressive generally. I think I have to stay on the Saints bandwagon for now @ around 2.25 best odds I think.

I meant to mention Hull in there too although I see basher has a thing for Bristol City. Hmmm. Hull have won 3 in a row now, all by a goal to nil (Portsmouth and Reading at home, Peterborough away) and Bristol City yet to score at home. Looking an X2 to me really and obviously not looking like a lot of goals in it (Hull lost 0-1 to Palace before their mini winning streak).

Aaaaaaand..... much as I don't trust them at home, West Ham I think will have a little too much for Peterborough who don't do too well on their travels (tough games they've had so far mind). Home side really should have that extra quality required... 1.62 best odds.... eeesh. Actually.... possibly interesting is West Ham to win to nil @ 3.1 as I see Peterborough have failed to score a goal in three of their last 4 games (0-2 carling cup defeat to Middlesbrough, 2-0 defeat at Brighton and 0-1 home loss to Hull). West Ham are hardly clean sheet specialists of course but they did manage one last game at Millwall which is 3 in 7. Yay?
